Summary:

Lyra’s neighbor can’t be for real. A man that stares at home baked bread like he’s never tasted it. Who chops his lawn up with the powerful weed eater and lawn mower he has. A man that makes her hormones stand up and scream every time she sees him. He cut down her rosebush, and he’s breaking through her reserve to invade her dreams at night. But Tarek Jordan is much more than he seems. A Breed Enforcer with a plan. First, find the Council Trainer he’s tracked to Fayetteville, Arkansas, and second, claim the woman he knows belongs to him alone. Until the danger that shadows his life begins to shadow hers as well, and then Tarek knows, he can’t wait to claim the woman his heart and soul burns for. His next door neighbor will have to accept him as he is, and now on his terms, rather than hers.

Review:

This was such a short story and both are new to me, but I liked Tarek and his honesty. Loved Lyra and her brother, she sounds just like Merinus. She’s strong and very pretty, after the time and the studies we can see that some developments made possible to now have some control over pregnancies. Tarek was a little different and he’s really good with computers, after saving Lyra is clear these two were made for each other.

Summary:

Mother Nature has a way of making the most unlikely couples ‘fit’. And what could be more unlikely than a sassy, independent President’s daughter who doesn’t know when to keep her mouth shut and a loner Coyote Breed with a hunger for a cute rosebud mouth that he’s determined to still.

The vote for Breed Law is coming down the pike. Kiowa’s job is to watch Amanda, the President’s daughter—look, but not touch. Just make sure the Goof Troop, the Secret Service detail assigned to protect her, do their job until the law is passed.

But when they don’t and the bad guys move in to take her out, Kiowa reluctantly slips in to the rescue, snatching her away to safety. But she isn’t going to come easy and it takes more than smooth talking to make her see his point of view.

For a man who’s had nothing, Amanda Marion is food for the hunger that has tortured him, the reality to every dream Kiowa never dared believe in. What he feels for her is more than heat, more than love. She breathes life into his hardened heart, melting the icy chill that has protected him all his life, and touches a part of him that he thought had died—his soul. And now he’ll kill anyone who tries to take her away from him.

But the one person he can’t fight is Amanda, and when she wants to leave…

Review:

This story was different and I loved Amanda, she’s sassy and very sure of herself, she wants the simple things in life even after her father became the president. She’s such a cutie. Kiowa was a new Breed for me and I liked getting to know a new coyote. Their mating was a little extreme and they suffered a lot. Kiowa was not raised in the labs but his real family didn’t helped. I liked Cassie and the way she always now the truth, she really helped Kiowa come to terms with his past.

The story was simple and Kiowa needed a little alone time to understnad more of his nature, but I loved how brave Amanda is.

Summary:

They’ve waited a decade to come together. Long years filled with unbearable pain, and soul-wrenching torment that have changed them both and left wounds that have laid their souls bare. Wounds that stand one chance of healing — if only they could stop fighting each other long enough for the truth to work its healing balm.

Kane, a relentless warrior, lost more than his heart to Sherra in a night of mating passion that marked them both for life. But news of her death ripped his soul apart. For years he has fought to avenge the death of the woman he loved more than his own life, by revealing the deceit and cruelty of the Council that created the Breeds.

But Sherra didn’t die. In a cruel and evil twist she was convinced by her sadistic handlers that the man she had given her body, heart and soul to had betrayed not only her, but the child she carried — and lost.

Amid the rapidly escalating violence against the Feline Breeds, Kane and Sherra learn that there’s more to mating than just the “heat”, just as there’s more to love than just the sex…

Review:

This story was expected since we discovered that Kane and Sherra are actually mates since before they breeds escape the labs. And after all this time they are mated and fighting the signs. I loved theis spats and moments together, they are quite a pair and after everything that happened is understandable to see Sherra reluctancy to just accept a mate. She suffered a lot in the labs after Kane disapeared and it’s not his fault, but things are different between them now, but are grown ups and fighting for the Breeds.

This was another great story and Sherra was perfect for me. We also got to see the other couples and the changes for the Breed in the real world, outside Sanctuary. Loving this sereies and can’t wait to continue with those shifters.

Summary:

She brought him back from death and made him live again.

Dash thought himself alone, a soldier, a fighting machine and no more.

Elizabeth made him realize he was a man.

Danger surrounds the woman his soul marked as his mate, death and blood and a treachery that goes beyond even his worst nightmares. But he will protect her and what she claims as her own. He was created to kill, trained to do it efficiently, and only a man bound to her, heart and soul, will have the strength to save Elizabeth and her prized possession.

He is a lone wolf. A man alone. No pack, no family, no one to call his own until one single, innocent letter awoke Elizabeth’s wolf.

Review:

This book was a little different because for the first time we can see another species finding a mate. Dash is a wolf breed and has hidden the truth for far too long. He escaped the labs with ten years and found a way to disappear in the States. Now he’s a soldier and uses those special skills for his country. I loved Dash and his choice for mate was perfect because we can clearly see they have a pure heart and so much strength. But the best part of this book is meeting Cassie, because this little girl is so important to the future of the breeds.

The mating was a little different and less dramatic for Elizabeth. After seeing what Merinus and Roni suffered with those felines. Don’t know if it’s because Dash is a wolf or because Elizabeth was more attuned to the breed DNA. So the big bad wolf saved the family and even got a happy ending. I liked the fact he was always alone and discovered that friends we’re there for him, even if he didn’t wanted to risk their lives. Those breeds are always worried about the future and Dash was no different but I liked this different race.

Summary:

Book 2 of the Feline Breeds

He had protected her as a child, filled all her teenaged fantasies, and as a woman, he stole her heart. Only to break it.

Now, fifteen months later, the news has released. The man she loves is one of the genetically altered Feline Breeds who have shocked the world with their presence. He’s also her mate. The mark on her neck attests to that. The fire that rages in her heart and in her body further proves it. But he hadn’t wanted her then; does he really want her now?

Deceit and treachery, born in the past, now haunt the present as Taber and Roni fight to make sense of a sudden bonding. The mating of heart, body and soul as the man and the beast within merge; both battling the forces raging against the union and dominance over the woman he claimed.

Review:

Since I had a hard time with the audio, decided to go back to those ebooks that I love. This book is set around three months after the ending of Tempting the Beast and we see the Pride struggling to keep save and at the same time leave as normal as possible. We see some moments of dangerous scenes and it’s clear that not everything is smooth. The Council is still after Merinus and the babe and now the also want Rina. Nobody has a clue to why they are so set in those woman, but the only giving point is the fact these are the females mated to those Breeds.

We have also Tanner finding his lost mate. He had no idea that she was more than a girl he loved, but he marked and now the people know about everthing they do and it’s dangerous for Rina. Her father was a real ass and sold the news to a few newspapers and now she’s being haunted because of her connecting those two “animals”. I loved their problems, because not everything is so simple and we can clearly see that they are meant for each other, but some moments of the past changed their life. I loved this couple and now we have more felines, some dark and other more lethal.

Summary:

Callan Lyons is a genetic experiment, one of six fighting for freedom and the survival of their Pride. Merinus Tyler is the reporter who will tempt him, draw him, until the fury of the “mating frenzy” locks them into a battle of sexual heat they cannot escape.

The evil Genetics Council is hot on their trail. Leaving a trail of their own of deception and blood. Callan will use his strength to try to save them both…and do all in his power to keep his woman in the process.

Review:

I’ve read this series before and remember liking it, but could’n exactly explain the story or plots, so decided to try again and gave it another chance with the audio version. This was not the best audio for me, I think there was too much sex to listen and it didn’t help, but I loved the book. Just discovered that erotica and audio don’t mix right in my brain. There’s always other books for that.

The couple was okay, but I liked Merinus better. Still don’t know where her name came from, but she’s strong and very firm. I liked the way she handled things and never gave up. Callam was the best alpha male, he had a hard time understand the mating and saving everyone at the same time. But he’s very possessive. And I loved the ending. There’s not much of the back story, but we can understand that some humans decided to mix DNA of animals with some human DNA. Callam and the rest of the Pride are these different shifters.

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week’s pre-publication “can’t-wait-to-read” selection is:

Lawe’s Justice
by Lora Leigh
Publication Date: September 27
Breeds #25

From Goodreads:

#1 New York Times bestselling author Lora Leigh returns to the world of the Breeds where animal instincts can bring a feral pleasure to every man and his willing female mate.

Mating heat gives him the Heebie Jeebies. It makes his stomach clench. It makes his teeth grind. Not because he wants to avoid it.

Sure as hell not because he’s searching for it and  can’t find it. No, it’s the woman he’s sensed is his mate, the woman that makes him insane every time they cross paths. The one woman he knows he can never, ever tame. The mercenary sister of Jonas’ mate, Diane Broen. And he doesn’t mean mercenary in the monetary sense. Oh hell no, he couldn’t be that damned lucky.  Diane is the commander of a small group of rough and ready male soldiers. A woman living on the edge, and threatening to pull him over with her.  

See ya next post!
